I have linux as my main environment and windows 7 intalled on my virtual machine. What I'm trying to do is replace Cookies file with another file to change my cookies.

I logged in with account A on fb in windows and account B on linux. I transfer file from windows which was in C:\Users\gio\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default file called Cookies on my linux machine and replaced it in this directory /home/gio/.config/google-chrome/Default, but nothing changed. I closed chrome on linux and opened again but I was logged in on account B again. So my question is from which file does google chrome read cookies.

I'd try a less crude way - EditThisCookie extension. It can export and import cookies, it should let you copy session from one system to another.

You can also use it to view cookies.

Chrome indeed reads cookies from xxx\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookie. But I think Chrome has a validation or encryption mechanism that cannot directly replace Cookie file.If directly replace Cookie file,Chrome will clear the Cookie file.
